Author in Christmas Food Coma
First of all, happy birthday to... me. (Hey, when your bithday is the day after the biggest birthday party of the year, you've got to do it yourself.) [VIA: My mother. Thanks, Mom, I wouldn't have missed it for the world.]
This is why Obama won, I think; there are quite a few people walking around, drunk not on the milk of human kindness, but on the milk of human babble. Like fish, they swim through the mall corridors in great big schools; half a dozen, eight, ten, twelve or more. It’s not enough. Not enough companionship. Against all odds, there is still a delta between what is provisioned and what is desired. Out come the phones, text text text. -House of Eratosthenes
Sorry I haven’t updated. I spent the last three weeks getting drunk to celebrate the election of Joe Biden as America’s 47th white vice-president. I never thought I’d live to see the day. Me and some other whites went out for a drink, then after a few port and lemons Giles Poncington (a pasty acquaintance of mine) starts asking if Biden is white enough.
I simply do not believe that Andrew Sullivan and his blog have given this man a sense that there is light at the end of this tunnel of political darkness. Nor do I necessarily believe that Sullivan writes them all himself, though it is clear they are all the work of a sole lunatic.Who he is, or what drives him (other than his own madness) I don’t know. It’s a pretty dull mystery, as mysteries go. - Chase me ladies, I'm in the cavalry

And don't ever forget the comments om Messrs Huttons & Sullivan pages, for they are priceless too...
